Faulkner

He was working on a screenplay for the film Background to Danger, with a young writer named Daniel Fuchs.
They didn't hit it off. Fuchs later said he was intimidated by the great novelist.

"You don't cozy to me because you think I'm anti-Semitic," said Faulkner to Fuchs one day.
"Yes," said Fuchs. "How about that?"
"Well, it's troo-oo," Faulkner said. "I dont like Jews--but I don't like Gentiles neither."
